Games today-Lowells at Portland. Lynns
at Manchester.
The Lowells play here again tomorrow,
and the Manchesters Saturday and MONDAY.
The Freeports defeated the Yarmouth
villes at Yarmouth last Saturday by score
of IS to IA.
The Manchesters have released pitcher
Doyle, formerly of the L0wells.
The Boston management has made Madden
a present every time he has won game THIS
season. This added to his salary will make
his remuneration for the seasons play nearly
$1,000 very good sum for yOungster.
The Lowell papers find fault with the
Manchester management for allowing games
that are postponed in Manchester to be
PLAYED off in Portland. They claim that
McGunnigle could stop it If he would, and
say that If Portland Is to be benentted Dy
such games, they ought to even up by play
ing off some of their games in Lowell In
stead of Portland. What has Lowell got to
do with it, anyway?
The Lowell Times says that Duffy can dis
count Hatfield ION bases" Just what the
Times means by ION bases" Is yelled in
mystery. III base running Is what Is meant
Duffy cannot touch Hatfield with forty
foot pole. II the Times refers to fielding,
the figures are far from supporting the
assertion. In 80 games at third Hatfield 5
average is .S42. In 30 games Duffy's Is .6O2.
The Times says that "a rainbow" throw Is
poetic, IL not explicit. IL the base ball editor
Of the Times does not know the difference
between rainbow throw and line throw,
any OF Lowelis small boys will, no doubt,
be happy to post him on the subject.

Newspaper.

NEW YORK, Sept. 13.-Inspector Byrne's
detectives have, for the last three weeks,
been shadowing the Office of The American
Flag, to guard 1t from threatened attempt
to blow up the building, at No. 113 Nassau
street, by dynamite. The editors of the or
gan of the American party were warned of
the plot of the annihilators by letter,
which was received on August Goth. The
letter, with the profanity left out, is as fol-
lows:
N. Y. CITY, Aug. 1s, 1887.
Editor american Flag
As chairman Of the Loyal Irish Ayenging Com
mittee, am instructed to give you notice that
if you do not stop publishing your dirty 'Ameri-
can Rag and leave N. Y. City for good and go
back to Washington where you came from we'll
have your life, and also that Of your Jew manager
and the big Dutchman who is putting up the
money. You are a fool in raising the cry of
S'America for Americans We want you to
know that there ARE 100000 Irishmen in this
country and within ten years it will be ours.
Now for the second time we give you warning,
that II you do not close your office by next Friday
morning, it will be your last Friday on earth.

Editor Duysters sent clerk up to police
headquarters with the letter. Mr.. Byrnes
waSout OF the city and the acting sergeant
said he would put the case In the hands of
Detectives Haley and Rutland. Duysters
became nervous and went to police head
quarters the same afternoon. He told the
sergeant that while the whole thing might be
hoax, yet he thought 1t might be well to
have officers detailed to guard the office.
A second letter was received by the editors a
week later which was even more incendiary
and profane than the first, Both letters
were postmarked New York.

Commissioner Blacks Account Of
Foreign Pension Systems.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-Pension Commits
sioner Black is compiling for public use
sketch of the pension system of every civil
lied country in the world, which he expects
to have completed before the meeting of
Congress. Not one of the European govern
ment pensions the private soldier for loss of
health. If he has lost limb then some
small provision is made for him. Countries
that keep large standing armies, like Ger
many, England and France, cannot afford to
pension their disabled soldiers and keep up
the army too. England retires her officers
on half pay, but nothing is done for the pri-
vate soldier except in cases of special bravery.
when he gets a medal of honor which en-
titles him to e10 year. Or, If he is found
to be proper person to be the inmate of
soldiers home, he Is put thither. but with
out a pension.
Germany has a way all her own Of provi-
ping for her disabled soldiers. There exists
a small fund for the purchase of musical
instruments: and when soldier is to be
pensioned, he is provided with an instru-
ment Of some sort, perhaps hand-organ or
a horn, and sent out TO torture humanity.
A report received from China shows that
the Chinese know nothing CT pensions or
pension agents. There was case once
where the Empress presented two sick
soldiers each with box of pills. The re-
port doesn't say, though, whether it was the
Empress or the people who paid for the
pills

GAME TODAY.


The Portlands will play the Lowells this
afternoon, and one of the hardest fought
games ever played in this city is looked for.
Both teams are going in to do or die, and IL
the Lowells win they will have to play ball
for all they are worth. a.a .o aa3
AFoRFEITED GAME. .i sH5 A
The Lynns evidently played for all they
were worth at Lowell yesterday. Lowell
took t.. lead in the second inning. Both
sides piAyed without fielding error. In the
sixth inning Umpire Mahoney called Terrien
out at first. The Lynns kicked vigorously,
but the umpire was firm. Manager Murphy
called his men off the field. After waiting
the required time, the umpire declared the
game forfeited to the Lowells. The action
of the Lynns is looked upon in Lowell as
further evidence Of what many have for
some time believed, that a conspiracy existed
between the New England League clubs to
down the Lowells. 1t is learned today that
the Lynns will disband Saturday, thus
affording Lowell no chance to increase its
number of games won. The score in the
game stood as follows:
